Running a marathon (马拉松) is difficult enough. Doing it with eyes closed for 26.2 miles is more difficult. But that’s exactly what Mike Bruno plans to do during the Pittsburgh marathon.

He’s doing this for his 7-year-old daughter, Cassie, who doesn’t like to communicate with others and has been blind since birth. “Having a blind daughter clearly has caused me a lot of trouble,” Bruno said. “ But it doesn't matter. I love my daughter. I hope to get a better understanding of how she deals with her daily life. I hope this journey will finally make me a better father to guide Cassie through her life.”

“When the doctor told us ‘Your baby is not going to see’, that was the most terrible experience we had ever had,” said Bruno.

“Sometimes I walk around the house with my eyes closed to see what it’s like for her,” said Cassie’s older sister, Carly, 9 years old. “It's kind of scary. You don’t know where everything is.”

But Cassie has fought against difficulties, and her father plans to do the same. “I closed my eyes, and I got ready, and then I tried running, just to see what it is like for her,” said Mike Bruno. “I want everyone to know it’s OK. It’s OK to ask us questions, but it’s not OK to look at us and point to us with surprise. If you’d like to ask us, we will be happy to tell you our story. ”
